Advance forward! (Got it!)

Don't you dare to halt! (Got it!)

Our aim is that place where the sun rise

Walk on the path of hope!

What blocked this path is River! River! River!

A stretched-out River!

The fated River! River! River!

An ordeal River!

Throw away all your doubts!

Show your willpower!

Don't hesitate!

Immediately

One step forward! Believe yourself!

Forward forward!

Go straight ahead!

Cross the river!! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

A dream is always

Looked so far away

Feels like its distance could not be reached

Pick up that stone

Under your foot

And with all your might

Throw it away!

Just before your very eyes

A river is flowing

Broadly, such a great river

Darkly, deeply, even so

The current is fast, even so

Do not be scared, OK?

Do not wander off

That's right, the opposite side is there

So more, believe in yourself

Inside the darkness

Just keep swimming!

Don't turn your head! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

When you extend your hand, there

Future exists, you see

Don't give up on the thing you can not reach!

The stone that you toss

Is the dream granter

Somehow its falling sound could not be heard

Inside your heart too

A river is flowing

So painful, a river of trial

Maybe it doesn't go smoothly, even so

Sometimes you're almost drown, even so

It's OK to repeat again

Do not give it up

The bank exists just there

Someday your struggle will bring you to it

Get over it!

RIVER!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

Stop telling excuse to yourself!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

Can't do nothing but keep going!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

Gotta keep moving forward!

Keep going keep going keep going

Keep walking on

The path you've decided!

Just before your very eyes

A river is flowing

Broadly, such a great river

Darkly, deeply, even so

The current is fast, even so

Do not be scared, OK?

Do not wander off

That's right, the opposite side is there

So more, believe in yourself

Inside your heart too

A river is flowing

It is, a river of sweat and tears!

Even if you make a failure

Even if it makes you cry

It is OK to start over

Don't say any complaint

Cling onto your dream, yeah

Until the day where your wish come true

Cross the river!

You can do it! AKB

前へ進め! (Got it!)

立ち止まるな! (Got it!)

目指すは陽が昇る場所

希望の道を歩け!

行く手　阻(はば)む　River! River! River!

横たわる River!

運命の River! River! River!

試される　River!

迷いは捨てるんだ!

根性を見せろよ!

ためらうな!

今すぐ

一歩　踏み出せよ! Believe yourself!

前へ前へ!

まっすぐ進め!

川を渡れ!! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

いつだって夢は

遠くに見える

届かないくらい距離感じる

足下(あしもと)の石を

ひとつ拾って

がむしゃらになって

投げてみろ!

君の目の前に

川が流れる

広く　大きな川だ

暗く深くても

流れ速くても

怯えなくていい

離れていても

そうだ　向こう岸はある

もっと　自分を信じろよ

闇の中を

ひたすら泳げ!

振り返るな! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

手　伸ばせば　そこに

未来はあるよ

届かないものとあきらめないで!

放り投げた石は

夢を叶えて

落ちる音なんか聞こえない

君の心にも

川が流れる

つらい試練の川だ

上手くいかなくても

時に溺れても

繰り返せばいい

あきらめるなよ

そこに　岸はあるんだ

いつか　辿り着けるだろう

Get over it!

River!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

自分に言い訳するんじゃねえ!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

やってみなけりゃわかんねえ!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

まっすぐ進むしかねえ!

ずっと　ずっと　ずっと

歩き続けろ

決めた道を!

君の目の前に

川が流れる

広く　大きな川だ

暗く深くても

流れ速くても

怯えなくていい

離れていても

そうだ　向こう岸はある

もっと　自分を信じろよ

君の心にも

川が流れる

汗と涙の川だ!

失敗してしまっても

流されてしまっても

やり直せばいい

弱音吐くなよ

夢にしがみつくんだ

願い　叶う日が来るまで

川を渡れ!

You can do it!
